Christian Fellowship

John Calvin puts forward a very simple reason why love is the greatest gift: “Because faith and hope are our own: love is diffused among others.” In other words, faith and hope benefit the possessor, but love always benefits another. In John 13:34–35 Jesus says, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Love always requires an “other” as an object; love cannot remain within itself, and that is part of what makes love the greatest gift.

I think we have to think of it this way. Though Adam and Eve were knowledgeable about Gods plan. After their death, the lineage didn't posses that knowledge as it was being fed word of mouth. Lot of generations skipped that. And after the christ that knowledge was bought into attention of the people again. That's where different cultures and religions came to know about the christ. That's for sure.

I'd say the "Passion of the Christ" is definitely the good movie worth watching. I have also found the Noah being another good movie. Then there are some of the documentaries which I enjoyed the most about the christian lifestyle. You'd find that some non English movies on Christ from around the world are also good enough. I think there are not many new good movies being made for sure.

I think unless we go out of the Milky Way Galaxy there seems to be no way finding out about the life on other galaxies and planets. So that means any speculation we do with science or religion is going to be speculation and nothing more. Many scientists are doing things that does not compute in many way. As you can see it may turn out to be hoax in some cases and in other cases who knows we could bacteria at the most. So yes not discarding the possibility seems to be the right choice.

Forcefully feminizing straight males and making them gay is really the worst anyone can do. I have seen one video on Facebook where there were some transgenders who created the children books to feminize kids. They seem to have created custom books on "Feminist Baby" and "Rainbow Kids". I think things have surely gone out of hand. You can see that their excuse of "is it hurting you" has now gone to emasculate kids. Very wrong on so many levels. I think things need to change for sure or else people are going to suffer in decades to come.

I think there is a chance that such creatures from outer planets are more likely to be angels. And if not that we have to consider possibility that it's just government way of stealing tech of USSR. And vice versa is also possible. I have never seen UFO reports from outside the US. Most of them are fake. So if they are real UFO in US then surely they are man made. There is no evidence for those to be any remotely real in any way from what I know.

I am guessing the lot of things science pretends to tell you as a truth are imagination. Because think about it. There is some level of atmosphere on upper strata of our earth. That means god made some bacteria over there too. And scientist may call it extraterrestrial. How come you call it that way? Why things have to be taken with humans ego in mind? I mean they could be here all way along when god made it. Just got discovered by science now.

I don't agree with the Facebook replacing church. I think people should go out and be social. I have found that people doing some bad things in the name of Christ. This can not be good on social media. People should limit their religious activities to real church. I have found that social media has cluttered with lot of religious content. If more people visit social media for this. Then surely they are going to be not visiting the real churches. In such case the best option would be to let people be socialize in real life. I think church around the world needs to invite people for socializing.

I think Islam used feminism to gain control of the Europe. Not only they are controlling larger mass but also now getting politically incorrect by not letting other faith practice. So that can be really bad for Christianity. I don't know if there are any people who are paying attention to the fascist agenda. It seems islam and communism is taking over the world. And it means misandry and godless world will prevail. Hate to say this but seeing lot of countries going down this way.

I think starbucks did their best to promote gay marriages. And not only that feminism was mostly spread over by them through the commercials. I think the worst they did with the feminism. I have seen people suffering due to the feminism. I am surprised company such as starbucks which makes money off Christians run such propaganda. I don't have any soft corner left for them. They can't have my money anymore. I choose not to buy their coffee anymore.

I think body is just a vessel what others do with it after we leave is not our business. As long as we reach to the kingdom of god, It should not matter in such case. I do think however that some of the time it's better to be cremated if we are in city like say new york where we have so much population for burial. And in case of small town or country side I think it'd be good to just bury people. All depends on what people around can do for the person.

I think lot of what he said is on the point. You can see that left is forming a society where there is no family. Any random child born and no god in their family. They see no chance of change. And lot of them are into depression. Some of them are being feminized. And they are going away from the god. This is the type of society you can see that leads to more of evil than good. I think Left has misguided people over the year and it is surely going towards regression instead of progress.

I think there is a lot that going on after the gay marriage. For example after gay marriage, women have stopped having family. So kids are being born and raised without father. Also the amount of divorces in straight marriages are going on are rising. And divorce issues do exist in gay marriages as well. This means there are more issues to address rather being content with the decisions made earlier. Besides there is a lot of propaganda going on for feminizing men. That's what is wrong with gay marriages.

I have to agree as when we try to avenge something, we invite negativity. And this process of negativity is a path to demon. I think we have to understand that it's not our role to punish the world. You may find that vengeance leads to more negativity. It also bring insecurity and unhappiness. It'd be really hard to love our-self and the world again in that context. So vengeance is not the path one should seek. And one must leave it to the god. That's what I think for sure.

I remember the point where I had lot of free time. I think when we have free time. Our mind is open and vulnerable. It's devils workshop because it's too open and unguarded. When we are busy we are firm about our belief and the efforts. But when we have free time we get into laid back mode. And that leads to more negativity to enter. So though devil takes efforts and can't be working in free time. It's our own inability in the free time that leads to any devil sending his negativity to us.

I think spirituality takes the form of the faith you're practicing. So the sin and the deed has different context and meaning in each religion. In the eyes of gods, every form of spiritualism is the same. Believers can be going more natural yet their connection with the god remains the same. I think that's the point most of us see in spiritualism. That connection irrespective of how we perceive god remains the same. Christ is more spiritual when we manifest him that way.
